Haha, yes! After an amusing talk in the chatroom, I was talked into making this thread Of course, I'll start out... not only with one pic... but a couple... :|

Smallish...

A bit bigger...

Story behind this? A BET!!!... I wish Actually, I was talked into it by a couple of fellow Japanese animation (anime) fans... I was going to a convention in Norway and it turned out everyone else was dressing up... so I had to too... All cosplayed characters in this picture are from the anime "Naruto"... you get a cookie if you know the series and who we're cosplaying

Quoting Garri767 (Reply 1):it seems you are too easily talked into things, how do you deal with peer pressure at that rate! LOL

I'm not that easy to get to do things, believe it or not

I've had this thread on my mind for a while, just needed a push to make it a reality... as for the costume... well... I just didn't want to stand out... which I did as we all walked through the streets of Oslo (where the convention was held) and got lost in a supermarket when we were looking for something to drink Standing in the queue at the checkout like that is amusing

They all thought we were a part of a gay parade that was conviniently held that day too I bet we got more attention than the actual gay parade though!

On a UH-60 Army Blackhawk Helicopter heading to a drug raid in Prince William Sound . . . I had consumed rather a large amount of coffee in the wee hours proir to flight. I of course had relieved myself before departure, however - apparently consumption exceeded storage capacity.

I had the chopper pilot put down on Hinchenbrook Island in a convenient spot. I did my business. Unknown to me, my #1 had his digital and conveniently a video camera. He claimed to be "testing the equipment". Alas, the rest is history . . . .

Well, here is a picture of me returning on a business trip, returning from Japan. I was sleeping in the back as I was awaker for about 30 hours, when the pilots got on the horn & told me to come to the front as they wanted to talk to me, anyway after about 15 minutes, I fell asleep & the pilots snapped a picture of me.

Anyway, the photo was quite popular in the briefing room for a while, when I took the picture down, another took its place, after a while I gave up and left the photo up there, we all had a good laugh.
